New Things Are So Invigorating, Aren’t They?!

So my latest new thing may well up turning to my best one yet! I’m enjoying it, and it’s getting bigger and better!

Words are my thing, and while the writing of books in a variety of genres is likely to continue to happen, there are other ways for ‘Words’ to be shared, and the spoken word is interesting to me as well as the written word.

And I’ve always been at least a little but ‘funny’ in a variety of ways, and my latest way, doing a bit of free-form Stand Up Comedy, in the guise of a much older woman, Nanna Carreau, is so much fun to think about, and write as!

I’ve have had one go at a little bit of presenting as Nanna Carreau, and going by the laughter, and what I’ve been told, it went well. I’ve Bern wndwring how I might be able to do some more, and up came news of the perfect opportunity earlier today, right in time!

If Nanna Carreau looks a bit cranky, it may be her ‘arthritees’ are platying up! Getting old can be a good think, better than dying, but oh the aches and pains of it all. It’s no wonder Nanna Carreau looks cross at times!

But Nanna Carreau does like to have an audience of people listening to her when she’s telling the truth of what life is all about. And when you’ve lived as long as Nanna Carreau has, you’re bound to have ideas about some of the ‘big things’ in life!

Nanna Carreau may not have lived in big cities, but sometimes small towns are merely a scaled down version of what happens in those big cities. Life, love, power, caring, not caring, it’s all there, no matter where you live! And I’m thrilled I’m going to have the chance to bring Nanna Carreau, and my ublished books too, to a new audience.

If this all works as well as I hope it might, it will be great experience to bring to my act I’m hoping to do for the Gawler Fringe next year. And if it all flops often, that will tell me it isn;t worth it. I don’t feel that will be the truth though. I love doing Nanna Carreau, and I ‘mm funny when I’m doing it!

I have to make sure I stay in control of my own self though, and don’t let Nanna Carreau take over who I actually am. I’ve been warned about this, by a man who’s knowledge of the theatre is deep and worth listening to, always.

This is me, I am not Nanna Carreau!
